This special episode features a collection of twelve LOTRO songs by the popular in-game LOTRO band, The Shades. It’s a musical look back at our Christmas In July concert finale, when The Shades graced the snowy hills outside Thorin’s Hall with these festive melodies. Achazia, composer and bandleader for The Shades, was also kind enough to share some information about the song selection and the songs themselves with us. On behalf of LOTRO Academy and the Shades, we hope you enjoy the music. Thanks for listening.

Good music — I created a character on Laurelin after attending the Christmas in July concert and hope to be able to make it to the upcoming concert.
Excellent, excellent episode! I’ve only just come back to the game and found your podcast. I was amazed that this music was done ingame. Achazia’s vocals on the song after the credits is…Elf-like; just beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing and keep up the great work.
Terrific! The concert was obviously memorable for me, as it got me to finally create a character on the server so I could attend the event.
Thanks for putting these together, Branick, and especially thanks to Achazia and the rest of The Shades for all the work put together to create and perform these excellent songs!
PS – loved loved the orchestrated surprise at the end! It was also one of my favorite performances from the concert. Extremely mellow, and yet powerfully melodic. <3
